It's like, whenever I read Jimmy Breslin,
it's as if he's leaving a wake-up call
:06:08
- for the City of New York.
- What d'you mean by a "wake-up call"?
:06:12
He's saying that we've got people
in the city who are on welfare...
:06:17
Would I have seen any of your windows?
:06:20
A couple of weeks ago
I did a thing with hostages.
:06:24
- The people in blindfolds.
- Yeah.
:06:26
I thought it was like late '80s.
:06:30
That's interesting.
:06:32
Let's just say I'm not
a big fan of Jimmy Breslin.
:06:35
Well, he's the reason I became a writer,
but that's not important.
:06:52
Harry, you and Marie
are both from New Jersey.
:06:56
- Really?
- Where?
:06:58
- South Orange.
- Haddonfield.
:07:07
- So, what are we gonna order?
- I'm gonna start with the grilled radicchio.
:07:12
Jess, Sally is a great orderer.
Not only does she pick the best,
:07:15
but she orders it in a way even the chef
didn't know how good it could be.
:07:19
- Restaurants have become too important.
- I agree.
:07:22
"Restaurants are to people in the '80s
what theatre was to people in the '60s."
:07:27
I read that in a magazine.
:07:29
I wrote that.
:07:31
- Get outta here.
- No, I did! I wrote that.
:07:34
I've never quoted anything
from a magazine. That's amazing.
:07:38
Don't you think that's amazing?
And you wrote it?
:07:41
I also wrote
"Pesto is the quiche of the '80s."
:07:44
- Get over yourself!
- I did!
:07:47
- Where did I read that?
- New York Magazine.
:07:50
Sally writes for New York Magazine.
:07:52
You know, that piece had a real impact
on me. I don't know much about writing...
:07:57
It spoke to you, and that pleases me.
:07:59
I mean, you have to admire people
who can be that articulate.
